My brother (who is a much more disciplined winter-conditions runner than I ever will be!) has sworn by his YakTrax for years now - he won't run in the winter without them. Something to consider, no doubt.

Anyway they are like these metal coils that strap to your shoes to give you more traction. They look ... interesting, but they work! Maybe Santa will bring you a pair next year...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289846.post-36575580942669743432008-12-28T17:06:00.000-06:002008-12-28T17:06:00.000-06:00Well, maybe I am magic, but I'm not sure I'll temp...Well, maybe I am magic, but I'm not sure I'll tempt fate again until some of that ice melts or gets salted or something.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00893347878238444805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289846.post-34730111421065736532008-12-28T16:58:00.000-06:002008-12-28T16:58:00.000-06:00I don't know how you can run around Lake Nokomis w...I don't know how you can run around Lake Nokomis without wiping out, even on ice.
